jcraig Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Trying to get a CAD manager to change software is a major job. So is getting local technical teachers to adopt a new CADD software. If possible, sit down one-on-one and go through the basic tools in IronCAD. Use the TriBall - create a hole and put a bolt in it. Create a wooden part, Etc. Create a assembly, create a drawing. Takes 30 minutes or less. Encourage teachers to use IronCAD in a introductory level course. Many technical programs are driven by advisory committees. These outside professionals recommend software and curriculum. Schools welcome people who volunteer for these committees - it only takes a few hours a year - it has a great impact on instruction. Curriculm is driven by "Saleable Skills". AutoCAD and Pro-E are saleable skills. Students could get a much faster start and improve their Graphical IQ by using IronCAD. Start the new users with IronCAD and the word will spread rapidly. Teach the "standard" software in advanced courses. Any curriculum that focuses on only one software is short changing the graduate. IronCAD has a great Educational Package which makes software avaliable to schools at affordable prices and INOVATE for use on personal student computers. See the IronCAD website for info.
